Emne: [lis-e-resources] Free places for #UKSG2021
**With apologies for cross posting**
For many and varied reasons, certain communities and voices in the information community
continue to be under-represented at our Annual Conference and we are continuing to work to
improve this for #UKSG2021<https://bit.ly/39xvGqf>. Details are below and at
https://bit.ly/3p9ozKz.
There are now even more opportunities to receive a paid-for ticket to #UKSG2021, with Cell
Press and Cambridge University Press joining the UKSG bursary scheme. Taylor & Francis
has sponsored the Merriman Award<https://www.uksg.org/about/awardsandbursaries>
(which gives a place to the NASIG conference too), and Adam Matthew Digital and Wiley are
each sponsoring a Student/Early Career Professional to attend.
If you are a librarian working in higher education, the Cell Press and CUP sponsorships
are for you too (you can apply for as many different schemes as applies).
We believe we will have a better conference if the widest number of people from our
community can attend and have their voices heard so UKSG is offering a further 10 places
which are open to anyone who feels they are under-represented and lack the resources to
attend. This includes by sector - such as sixth form, further education and other non-HE
libraries - as well as by protected characteristics such as (but not exclusive to) age,
disability, race, religion, belief, or sex.
Those who are currently unemployed but seeking work in the sector and those who are
furloughed or on a temporary contract with no access to training funds will be given free
places automatically - please email your details to info at uksg.org<mailto:info at
uksg.org>
The general application form (sponsored by Cambridge University Press, Cell Press and
UKSG) is available
here<https://www.uksg.org/form/uksg-application-for-2021-sponso>.

Our thanks to Adam Matthew Digital, Cell Press, Cambridge University Press, Taylor &

virtual exhibition!)
